Group fusing is generally used for protecting pole-mounted distribution capacitor racks. In this type of application, the fuse links are installed in cutouts and mounted on a cross arm above the capacitor rack. The main purpose of the fuse on a capacitor rack is to clear a fault if a capacitor unit or any of the accessories fail.

2SG fuse sized at 165% to 200% of the capacitor''s current rating (contact factory for technical data). If these fuses are not dimensionally acceptable, then a non-time delay Class J or Class RK1 fuse could be used and sized at 185% to 220% of the capacitor''s current rating. For applications over 600V to 5.5kV, we suggest Amp-Trap A100C to A550C capacitor fuses.
Eaton''s Cooper Power series fuses are available in a wide variety of kV and amp ratings for use on both horizontal and vertical capacitor block bank configurations. The bus-mounted expulsion-type capacitor fuse provides highly reliable, economical protection for capacitor banks where medium energy-interrupting ability is required. In the event of a capacitor fault, excess current
The stress applied to the fuse assembly rated at 125 A is: 0.8 × 10-3 × (16900) 2 = 228 × 103 A 2 s. and even 200 A is unsuitable! This type of bank cannot be protected in this way using for example Fusarc-CF fuses. In some impossible cases, there is a solution that consists of protecting all three banks with a single common fuse (see figure 4).

2.1 Externally Fused Capacitors An individual fuse, externally mounted between the capacitor unit and the capacitor bank fuse bus, protects each capacitor unit. The capacitor unit can be designed for a relatively high voltage because the external fuse is capable of interrupting a high-voltage fault. However, the kilovar rating of the individual

Capacitor fuses are designed to ANSI C37-41. They are current limiting operating without noise or discharge and are designed to be used indoors in a general purpose enclosure or outdoors in a weatherproof enclosure.
Fusing each individual capacitor is especially important in large banks of parallel capacitors. Should one capacitor fail, the parallel capacitors will discharge into the faulted capacitor and violent case rupture of the faulted capacitor can result. Individual capacitor fusing eliminates this

The fuse protecting the capacitor is chosen such that its continuous current capability is equal to or greater than 135% of rated capacitor current for grounded-wye connected racks, and 125% for ungrounded-wye racks. This overrating includes the effects of overvoltage, capacitor tolerance, and harmonics.
For high voltage capacitor fuses, this is generally defined as 8.3, 15.5 or 23 kV, the distribution system maximum voltages. Other voltage ratings may be available for special applications. When a capacitor fails, the energy stored in its series group of capacitors is available to dump into the combination of the failed capacitor and fuse.
The main purpose of the fuse on a capacitor rack is to clear a fault if a capacitor unit or any of the accessories fail. The fuse must clear the fault quickly to prevent any of the equipment from failing violently and to assure continuous operation of the rest of the system (the unfaulted portion).
Capacitor current-limiting fuses can be designed to operate in two different ways. The COL fuse uses ribbons with a non-uniform cross section. This configuration allows the fuse to be used to interrupt inductively limited faults. The pressure is generated by the arc contained in the sealed housing.
This fuse is used for capacitor banks with a large number of parallel capacitors. It can be used on applications with essentially infinite parallel stored energy, as long as sufficient back voltage can be developed to force the current to extinguish.
